Our country has its fare share of problems. Every day it seems, there's a new story about turmoil in the inner city, political division among the electorate or some negative force that may threaten our way of life. Clearly, the United States needs something to rally behind, an event that will lift the collective spirits of the nation...

A friend of mine turned me on to these guys the other day and they are worth the listen. Dog Leg Preacher will bring his tour to Sturgis, S.D. in August to participate in the biggest and baddest party in the world.

Today's lost band is the band Mountain. The great Leslie West is one of my guitar heros. He is still around and putting out some great music. Sometimes he is with Corky Laing and under the name of Mountain and sometimes he is solo. This is a great tune and it is with the band Mountain off the album Go For Your Life...

I thought maybe for a little bit we would check out a concert instead of an interview so things don't get stale. I came across this online and thought it would be a great show for a bit. There are 11 parts to this and here we go with No. 1. I hope you enjoy Cream's farewell concert...

I've been to quite a few concerts in my lifetime. Plenty of rock shows and quite a few country. I've noticed that if you're at a country show and the band you're watching busts out some classic rock, the crowd typically goes crazy. If Garth Brooks launched into Money Talks, the audience would eat it up...

Sunday morning, Journey drummer Deen Castronovo was arrested following a domestic dispute with his girlfriend at their home in Salem, Oregon. According to the website TMZ.com, Castronovo will be charged with assault, coercion and menacing...

Yesterday I did a lost band by the name of Shooting Star. They were a band from my old stompin' grounds and a great band at that. There were a lot of great bands in the greater St. Louis area that didn't make it big but should have. Well, any way I got a phone call yesterday about what a great band Shooting Star was so I thought I would post them again...

Today for a lost band I want to do a band from the midwest. A band by the name of Shooting Star. One of the members was Gary West of the band Missouri who hit some fame with the song Movin on. "Hang On To Your Life" is the title track from Shooting Star's 1981 second album...
